Re: battery drain
I had the same problem and wrote several threads about the subject. It is solved by 1) replacing the battery and 2) disconnecting the antitheft module in the trunk. Apparently, the antitheft device (below the foam matt in the trunk) was draining by working all the time. Just unplug the electrical harness goes to it, you find the difference in drainage. Good Luck

You should check all the other fuses after checking the fuse #9, put a digital voltmeter set to Ma across the two terminals that the fuse connects. There are posts on this.
Add up all the readings, there is a number (35 Ma) that this should not exceed, I think that is the number mentioned in the link. Some fuses will have no reading and others a small amount which keeps the memory alive etc in some accessories or parts.

Take a battery cable off, and put a meter in series with it and see for yourself what is REALLY going on.
The manual says that 35 mA, that is, .035 amp, is normal. If you measure more than that, start pulling fuses until the the current goes down - you will isolate it to a single fuse, usually, in no time. THEN the real work may start.
